Shell and Solid Component connection in Solid Works

Bryan Schopf Feb 14, 2014 12:43 AM

Am trying to run a simulation using a solid body and a shell element. The problem is that I have not been successful in creating a component contact between the solid body and the shell. I have attached the file I have been working on. Any advice would be greatly appreciate.

Hi.
Define the bonded contact set between edge of the shell, and surface on the solid body.
Then it should work as expected.

Please see attached file.

  if this doesn't work, please elaborate on how you're creating the contact right now and what error you get.
